Biofuel and energy crops: high-yield Saccharinae take center stage in the post-genomics era.

ABSTRACT: The Saccharinae, especially sugarcane, Miscanthus and sorghum, present remarkable characteristics for bioenergy production. Biotechnology of these plants will be important for a sustainable feedstock supply. Herein, we review knowledge useful for their improvement and synergies gained by their parallel study.
